Liberty Heights

12105 Ambassador Dr, Colorado Springs, CO 80921
Overview of Liberty Heights

Liberty Heights in Colorado Springs offers nursing home, assisted living, continuing care retirement community, independent living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing. Nursing home and skilled nursing include licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Assisted living provides help with dressing, bathing, medication, and other daily tasks while the resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while respite care offers a short stay when a family’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. As a continuing care retirement community, Liberty Heights offers several care levels, which may suit a resident whose needs grow because moving within the community avoids starting over socially. Independent living may fit someone who wants private living without daily care, while the assisted living, memory care, nursing home, and skilled nursing options may suit residents who need increasing support. Respite care may help when a regular caregiver is temporarily unavailable.

The home has 60 beds, with studios, one-bedroom layouts, and two-bedroom layouts. A studio is one private space, while a two-bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion. Liberty Heights is in the Northgate neighborhood, where the Walk Score is 40 out of 100, so most errands require a car or a ride. Medicare and private pay are accepted, giving families two payment routes. Total nurse staffing is 4 hours and 40 minutes per resident each day, representing the daily hands-on nurse time per resident. Pets are allowed, and Alina Solorzano serves as the administrator.
